The upper reaches of Cwm Crew. Scattered huts in the settlement alongside the stream extend up to this part of the valley.

Another view of the small mound on Cefn Crew.
Small mound on Cefn Crew, possibly the burnt mound shown on the OS 1:25000. The top of Fan Fawr can be seen on the skyline.
Cwm Crew, hidden gem into the heart of Brecon Beacons. Settled in prehistoric times.
Another view of the second “something”. Any views?
Another of the “somethings” on the northwestern side of the stream. This one is at approx. SN997169.
The CPAT HER places several hut circles on the hillside opposite.
There are several “somethings” on the northwest side of the stream in Cwm Crew, although nothing is shown on CPAT/Coflein. My best guess is a building platform, to level out the steeply sloping terrain. The grid ref of this one is very approx. SN994166.
The entrance to Cwm Crew, just above Nant Crew bridge. The settlement lines the sides of the valley.

CPAT lists a number of hut circles and enclosures in Cwm Crew, plus a burnt mound on the slopes of Cefn Crew above.
It’s also a lovely, peaceful way to get up into the mountains without seeing a load of people.
